Peace deal sends oil prices tumbling — short-term short play on crude oil

The U.S. and Iran have agreed to a peace deal that will reopen a critical shipping route for oil. As a result, the price of oil is dropping fast because the supply disruptions are ending.

Idea

When the Strait of Hormuz reopens, millions of barrels of oil will flow freely again, causing a glut of supply. This sudden increase in available oil is already crashing prices in the futures market. Since the deal isn't even fully signed yet, there is still room for oil prices to fall further as the reality of renewed supply hits the market. Betting against oil here captures that downward momentum.
